Peeling Skin

I was fine hidden under my skin Safe from intruders who wanted to break in I can't avoid what's true when words have been spoken Sometimes I wish my silence wasn't broken And I was alone again Rope's they tie my body tight And my tongue is paralyzed Cause I am tired of my mind and these thoughts I try to hide Peeling skin I start to crawl out I may regret exposing my completed self I can't avoid my truth when words have been spoken But I suffocate in silence unbroken I can't push things in again I cut the ropes that tie me tight I become a string less kite Cause I am tired of the fight that lingers in my mind How can I heal the cuts I shape Dug ever deeper when I escape
